What Ford v Ferrari Didn't Show About Ken Miles

Video Description

Ford v Ferrari is one of the greatest racing films ever made. But the story it tells about Ken Miles — the brilliant, eccentric British driver who helped Ford beat Ferrari at Le Mans — is only half the truth. The film shows you the race. It shows you the injustice of the photo finish. It shows you a man who deserved better from the company he gave everything to. What it doesn't show you is what happened two months later — and why the car that killed Ken Miles should never have been on that track in the first place. In this video we go deeper than the film dared. The real Ken Miles was a tank commander who landed in Normandy nine days after D-Day. He was closer to winning the endurance Triple Crown in a single year than any driver before or since — a record that still stands unclaimed sixty years later. And he died in a car that had already killed someone else, testing it for the company that had just stolen his greatest victory. This is the Ken Miles story Ford v Ferrari was too afraid to tell.
